'Kidical' Mass Bike Ride to Roll Through Lincoln Park
Looking for a fun way to spend time with family this Sunday? We've got an idea for you.
When it comes to children's biking, safety is critical—Ahem. I mean "kidical."
That's precisely the message of Kidical Mass, a nationwide movement that urges parents and children to ride bikes together.
The group—its name is a nod to well-known bicycle advocacy group, Critical Mass—already organizes monthly rides in Logan Square, Hyde Park and Lincoln Square. But this Sunday, it's rolling through Lincoln Park.
